Instructions: I just want to mention one way we have learned to eat beef that I feel is more healthy. We have been doing this for about 3 years. I talked to a butcher recently who was impressed. When needing ground beef for dishes calling for ground beef, (except maybe a burger, but even that), if you dont have a butcher available to take a round steak and grind it for you, I buy round steak and take it home-trim the fat-cut it into pieces, and put it in the food processor to grind it myself. The butcher told me that that was a much healthier way to eat because most supermarkets have their beef preground in tubes-you cant be too sure of what is in that beef.

However you are absolutely sure of the quality when you buy a round steak and grind it yourself. I had bought a food grinder when I started this, but it is much simpler in the food processor. The meat tastes so much fresher than regular ground beef-by that I mean all of the selections of it. I also do the same thing with chicken breast. [mary curtis

After ground beef is cooked in the colander, I rinse it (if Im using it for tacos or some other highly seasoned dish). I have an old set (10 yrs old?) of plastic Rubbermaid Microwave cookware that came with a colander that sits on top of the largest (3 qt.) pan. ["Jane Paquet"
